All kids are different but 10 hours is a good amount of sleep.

10 hours sound like a lot. If your kid is waking up, then that’s enough. 7 pm does sound kinda early. I’d try pushing back bedtime to 8.

How old is the child? My 5 year old goes to bed between 7 - 8 and wakes up between 6.30 & 7.30
Have you tried a later before time? Sounded like a good amount of sleep though.

maybe try changing the bed time until later … like 9 , then hopefully they would sleep later
Different ages require a different amount of sleep. Not sure how old she is, is she napping during the day? Shorter naps or I would try pushing bedtime back to 8:00p.m.
Why a 7 pm bedtime. No wonder she’s up early

The heck !!! How many hours do you want her/ him to sleep ?..… 20 
10 hours is more than enough, you can change the bedtime to 8-8:30 .
Also if there’s nap during the date , try it to be short

Most kids only need 10-11 hours of sleep. U either stay up later with them and get a lay in in or u put them to bed early and get up early. Ur expecting too much from them

Idk why people are saying 10 hours is enough.
My toddler sleeps 12 hours at night and doesn’t take naps.
Wear them out during the day. Don’t let them take a nap.

My 5 year old goes to bed around 9 (has for a couple years now) and sleeps until 7, 8, or 9. If he sleeps until 9 and gets his 12 hours, then I don’t push a nap. If he wakes up at 7 and only gets ten hours l, then I run him extra hard at the playground after his half day of school, look for signs of sleepiness (falling out on the car ride home is a dead giveaway) and then push a nap if need be. If he doesn’t nap and needs one, then I put him to bed earlier that night. It all comes out in the wash. But my kids need 12 hours until they are 8 or 10. Whether they get it straight through at night or whether they nap this day and not that day, it’s all good. I let my son decide a lot, too, which helps with his need for control and all.

Change the bedtime. My kids never went to bed earlier than 8:30. That was only cuz school started.
My 2 year old has been getting up too early also. We tried pushing her bed time back but that didn’t help at all.
I hope you find the answer & then let me know. Good luck mama.
Sounds to me like it’s more inconvenient for you and you don’t like getting up at 5. Stop complaining. Get up. Have a cup of coffee. And be a parent.

Some ppl simply need less sleep than others, including little ones. Push back bedtime a little and they will sleep later.

10 hours is pretty normal for a kid but I totally understand not wanting to wake up at 5 am, if my son goes to bed any time before 9 he wakes up around 5. Push bedtime back an hour and see if it helps.

Stop putting your kid to sleep at 7:00
That’s 10 hours. U could put to bed around 8 -830 u want them to sleep later put to bed later will probably still only sleep 10 hours which fir most people is plenty .
How old is child. But 7 am may be to early. Try 8-830 for about 1–2 weeks to see if it helps
That’s normal for young kids.
My older never required much sleep when she was younger. 5-6 hours a night and got up between 5/6. When she turned 13/14 she started just going fk sleep earlier and still getting up between 4-6am and still. She is a true morning person, the rest of us are night owls and it’s rough. She is able to mostly (she’s autistic and cognitively delayed) and we had to teach her to let everyone sleep in in the mornings. Find something to occupy her time.
10 hours is a great amount of sleep but if you want then to sleep past 5 try putting then to bed later
My kids go to bed around 930-1030 and outside of school they sleep until 8-9.
Also, if they wake up before then they can just play in their rooms and put themselves back to sleep.
1.5 and 5.5
common sense here. If I put mine to bed at 7am probably about 1am-2am they be up ready to start their day… I don’t care what the books say how much sleep your child should be getting… all kids are different. Mine never slept… mine are older and they are active, good grades, sports…
How old is your child. What time do they have to be up in the morning… common sense is put to bed later… your kids go through different phases… some kids need more sleep, so not much at all
Put her to bed later. She’s sleeping enough hours
Put him to bed later. Try 8 or 9.
I put mine to bed at 11-12 and she wakes up for the day at noon. 
I mean she whines for boob, but doesn’t really wake up. Then she takes a nap at 4pm and another at 8pm
